No UGF, right now I have an AC 500 on it. That's actually only 50lbs of gravel.

Stock plans are:

severum
blue acara
jurupari
Braziliensis
Thorichthys aureum, 'blue flash'

I'm pretty much starting with all small fish. My keyholes are 2-3", I think my acara will be the larest at ~4". She'll be going in the tank last.

Now I have to decide what to do about aquascaping. I have a few terra cotta pots, fake-rock-thing, and some floating anacharis in there now so the fish aren't in a bare tank.

Congrats on the new tank! I love the pic with the 2 keyholes

I got a baby Bristlenose a month ago (probably smaller than yours at about the size of an Otto) and now its grown a bit. He's pretty active for a Pleco, I would assume your baby is too.

you gonna use a background?

how much did u get the gravel for? i want natural for the 100 gallon im getting, but i wasnt sure of the price, although the price will very from here to there, im just wondering

what do you have in those 10 gallons next to it?

Great pics Theresa, I love the Keyholes

nice pics and have mercy on your floor haha

Is that a perfecto tank?

VERY nice! Wish I could get my 75 up and going, but there is just no room for it in our current apartment. And, seeing as how we just signed another year lease, I don't think it will be going up any time soon! So... until then... I will be focusing on my smaller projects. As soon as I move though, the 75 is going up! Half of it is already taking up space in my attic as it is! LOL!

We left at the beginning of the snowstorm for the hour drive to my favorite lfs, who also happened to have the best price on the setup. Walked in to find out they were closing early, which left us ~20 minutes; no time to look at fish

But we got the tank (75g), stand, filter, heaters, gravel and a nice piece of wood which is still soaking. The tank is setup and currently has 2 keyholes, 2 Laetacara dorsigera, and a new, very tiny plec

Empty:



With gravel, which looks pink in the pic but is a light natural mix called 'nutmeg':



Keyholes (2 males I believe):



L. dorsigera:



Plec near heater, pic gives good size perspective:



And again, with reflection:

Big tanks are fantastic I have the 5ft and I wished I had purchased the 6ft as I had the space for it.

I personally think they are easer to maintain but many might not agree with me.

The first photo was very impressive, invisible water, plants & fish, you are very clever girl.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?

awww loookin' good Theresa!

That plec is tiny, we get them like that at my LFS/work all the time, it's a shame they don't stay that size

What do the kids think about the new big tank?

-Formerly known as the Ferretfish

BIG tanks are what this hobby is all about.(Says the guy with three 10 gallon tanks)

Can't wait to see it finished!

WOW thats a tiny pleco.
